Postmedia observed the reservoir, the tiny creek above, and the destruction below on a site visit this week .
The construction of the reservoir and access road to it were part of an effort started by Steven Vestergaard more than a decade ago to provide water and electricity to his proposed multi-home development high above Lions Bay .
B.C. government officials will not say whether the reservoir was approved by the province.
Metro Vancouver officials also refuse to answer questions on any oversight it may have had.
The marketing document notes that he had to empty the reservoir, use ground-penetrating radar to identify and patch leaks, as well as build a 60-centimetre -wide steel-reinforced concrete retaining wall inside the reservoir.
The reservoir was constructed by blasting, which was also used to construct the steep access road to Vestergaard ’s property.
